Pink Eye!

The boys had their first “sick day” from daycare last Friday. We’ve all had colds, with the runny nose & cough, for the last week or so but Thursday night I could tell Wyatt’s eyes were getting a little irritated-looking. Friday morning when the boys woke up, they both had super red eyes that they could barely open. Poor guys!

They stayed home from daycare and we made a visit to our doctor for a confirmation of double-pink eye for both of them (and also got an updated weight check – Colton now weighs more than Wyatt – Colton was 24 lbs 14 oz & Wyatt was 24 lbs 8 oz; they were also both right around 31 inches long!).

We’re on day 4 of their eye ointment treatment (yeah, we got ointment instead of drops – our doctor says it stings less and stays in better) and it’s getting a little easier giving it to them. Although, I have to admit, I’ve reverted to bribing them with yogurt melts after they let me put the medicine in their eyes. I’ve had to do it solo for the last few days, as Cory was away hunting for the weekend (& successfully shot an 8 point-buck!), and this is the approach that has worked best for me. 1.day.left.
